Currently have a small number of units out for beta testing, expecting availability around the end of the month...

Here are the pics from the newsletter:

Will offer stripped initially. Waiting to get a final cost, but shooting for ~$200.

They are nice damn uppers. Beta testing went pretty well, I'd say.













Parts were transplanted from a BCM 20" upper. The feed ramps, I have to point out, matched PERFECTLY from the upper to the barrel extension. And I can say that the transplant didn't hurt accuracy one tiny bit.

Fantastic looks, great performance with quality parts, what's not to love?

Mo' pics soon!

We postponed production to get some testing completed, and another job snuck in front of us, so 2 weeks I'm told.

Ed- a few questions please.

Will arfcom be offering fully built uppers? If so would these include the ion bonded bolt? If not I should probably get a few to go with the upcoming uppers!

We will eventually be offering some fully built uppers (may be limited availability as primary outlet is retail store in NY) and those will vary in configuration, but primary will most likely be a piston version with coated piston system/bolt carriers.

Problem these days is getting parts... especially barrels. If anyone has a good source with immediate availability, send them our way!

I meant to mention that production is underway, but availability will be somewhat limited.

Biggest issue right now is finding forward assists and dust cover assemblies, so we can either wait until parts are available, or start selling stripped uppers.
We'll have the first ones available to ship as of this coming Monday 4/9...

Any update on when the uppers are going to hit the store for purchase? I've been impatiently awaiting. Previous post said 04/09. I'm guessing that meant 2012

What is the function of the serrations on the left side of the upper?

Their function is to match the serrations on the front of the lower.

Edward-

I see that you're out of stock on the AR15 billet lowers, will you be ordering more? I need to put up my fourth lower soon.
